Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe

Grilled Chicken Salad Recipe

A few years back, I found this easy, light salad recipe and made it for a picnic for my boyfriend and myself. Now that guy is my husband, and we still enjoy going on picnics and dining on this satisfying salad.

Directions

Grill the chicken breasts over medium-hot coals for 15-18 minutes, turning once, or until tender and juices run clear. Remove from the grill and place in a single layer on a platter; sprinkle with lemon juice and set aside. In a large bowl, toss pasta, red pepper, celery, onion and dill. Remove chicken from platter; pour juices into a bowl. Slice chicken widthwise into thin strips; add to pasta mixture. To the juices, add vinegar, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper; whisk well. Add oil very slowly in a stream until dressing is thickened. Pour over salad and toss. Serve in a lettuce-lined bowl or on individual lettuce-lined plates.Yield: 6 servings.

"I have been making this for years. It always gets rave reviews! The only thing I change is I use the juice of a whole lemon on the grilled chicken, and I chunk the chicken and add it with the pasta. Very good!!"
